  • It’s not about the number really, I started getting used to it since using Gnome, there the workflow is pretty workspace oriented, by default I think you can’t even access the minimise button on windows, I found it super convenient mainly so I don’t have to dig through the various windows I may have by cycling one after the other with Ctrl+tab, I just lay them out in a way that maps to a physical position so I do Meta+Ctrl+arrow left/right and know what I’m getting (most of the time, because on Plasma there aren’t yet dynamic workspaces as far as I’m aware, so sometimes I’ll end up in an empty one after clearing out some windows and forgetting about it, unlike on Gnome)


  • I group together apps that I want to use together, usually in split screen, and also those that are logically related, say I’m doing web browsing and also listening to music, even if it’s just two apps (browser and music player), they aren’t related by one task, so I put each on their own workspace. Now add that I’m writing down information from the browser, I’ll open the text editor in the same workspace because the info between the two is related and I need to see both at the same time. These are just examples, but things are even more flexible since Plasma allows you to keep a window in multiple workspaces and even multiple activities at the same time, I have examples of that too if you’re curious about the logic




  • I’ve been using LinkedIn with addy.io’s aliases a couple years without issue, I can’t say if that somehow makes your profile less promoted, I can only say that I’ve been receiving a few proposals here and there, don’t have a lot of experience, so I think it’s reasonable I don’t get swamped in them.
    To be fair though, the real privacy concern is all the information you have to share about yourself and that can’t be avoided, regardless of the platform, you have to give details about you because that’s the entire reason you would be on such a platform to begin with, to make yourself known.
    What you can do is leave out all the details you’re not comfortable sharing publicly and instead wait for recruiters to eventually ask you for those themselves, so you know that it only goes with one party that you have interacted with and can “trust”, rather than the wider internet.

    As for the email spam, there are a LOT of bs emails you receive by default from LinkedIn, but you can disable them, it took a while for me to figure out which is which because they have so many settings, but now I managed to have only what I care about, which is pretty much requests for connection and messages.
    Also you don’t have to install their mobile app even if they bug you about it, you can get by with the mobile PWA and if you want to do any Easy Apply job applications, you can just temporarily switch to desktop mode

    Docker or containers in general provide isolation too, not just declarative image generation, it’s all neatly packaged into one tool that isn’t that heavy on the system either, it’s not a cop out at all.

    If I could choose, not for laziness, but for reproducibility and compatibility, I would only package software in 3 formats:

    • Nix package
    • Container image
    • Flatpak

    The rest of the native packaging formats are all good in their own way, but not as good. Some may have specific use cased that make them best like Appimage, soooo result…
    Yeah, no universal packaging format yet
